Confirmed! Polish representative joins Zagłębie

The 32-year-old defender will certainly count last season as a success. He won a double crown with GKS Tychy, i.e. the championship and the Polish Cup.

He played 54 games, amassing 17 points on 6 goals and 11 assists. His plus/minus rating was +36, and he spent 48 minutes in the penalty box.

It is worth adding that in terms of the number of goals scored, these were his best games in the league. He only collected more points (18) in the 2017/18 season.

As a player of GKS Tychy, Ciura won four Polish championships and five Polish cups. He also won a bronze medal in the Continental Cup and was in the squad of the team that won its first victory in the Champions Hockey League.
